Fedora won't wake from sleep

Wondering if anyone else is running into this.

With Fedora 43 if I sleep the machine and when walking it up the power light goes solid but nothing comes in the screen. It stays blank and does not engage the back light either.

Which Linux distro are you using?

Fedora

Which release version? 43 KDE

(if rolling release without a release version, skip this question)

Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-43-1.6

(If rolling release, last date updated?)

Which kernel are you using? default

Which BIOS version are you using? 3.04

Which Framework Laptop 16 model are you using? (AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series)

Ryzen AI 9 HX 370

Are you waking from suspend (i.e. s2idle) or from hibernate (suspend to ram, full power down)? If it’s the latter, I’ve had the same issue and have documented it over here:

If it’s just s2idle suspend then no, I haven’t run into that issue, but I also haven’t used the laptop much in a few weeks so its possible there was a regression with a new kernel/driver. It seems like the AI 370 platform is still having some growing pains re: suspend/resume :confused:

You might need salt, possibly lots, with this. I have an Intel FW 13 and I run Mint.

The symptom @Bill_Dolan describes happens to me whenever I enter s2idle while the visible workspace contains no open windows. Bizarre I know. I tell you this to set the scene. It bites me at least once a month. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

When the lappy is resumed (lifting lid or pressing power button) I encounter an apparently unresponsive black screen. However, if I use the Fn keys to switch to one of the virtual tty displays and then switch back to the DE display, everything then works as expected.

The keystrokes to achieve this are dependent on (at least) your Fn lock state. I keep mine locked so the media keys are shifted functions. With that in mind:

  1. Ctl-Alt-F1 - switch to virtual display for tty1
  2. touch any shifting key - the display should light up and show a console login prompt
  3. Alt-F7 - switch to virtual display used by the DE’s window manager

There are many assumptions in what I’ve described. Did I mention you might need salt?

This is s2idle. Seems like it was the only option it has when I checked.
I don’t get the option for hibernate either.

Might see what happens if I manually update it to a newer kernel than what Fedora is currently shipping with.

Weird, that is a metric ton of salt ha ha.

I will give that a try and see if the behavior is the same.

Sadly that doesn’t bring back the screen for me.
